From ItemsAdder Setup

Migrating from ItemsAdder to another plugin (Nexo, CraftEngine, Oraxen) using LK Creator’s Converter.

Why Migrate?

Common reasons for migrating from ItemsAdder:

Switching to Nexo (successor to Oraxen, active development)
Moving to CraftEngine for its broader MC version support
Performance or compatibility needs

Before You Start

Back up your server and all ItemsAdder configuration files
Locate your config files — typically in plugins/ItemsAdder/contents/your_namespace/configs/
Identify your resource pack assets — textures and models in plugins/ItemsAdder/contents/your_namespace/resourcepack/
Note any custom recipes, loot tables, or furniture — these may need manual adjustments

Step-by-Step Migration

1. Export Your ItemsAdder Configs

Gather all .yml files from your ItemsAdder contents directory:


plugins/ItemsAdder/contents/
  my_namespace/
    configs/
      items.yml          # <-- This is what you need
      recipes.yml         # If you have custom recipes
      loots.yml           # If you have loot tables
    resourcepack/
      assets/
        my_namespace/
          textures/       # Keep these
          models/         # Keep these

2. Use the LK Creator Converter

Go to the LK Creator Converter
Upload your items.yml file
Set Source Plugin: ItemsAdder
Set Target Plugin: your desired plugin (Nexo, CraftEngine, or Oraxen)
Click Preview Conversion

3. Review the Preview

The converter will show you:

Successfully converted items with their new configs
Warnings about properties that were approximated
Unsupported features that need manual attention

4. Handle What Doesn’t Convert

Some ItemsAdder-specific features may not convert automatically:

ItemsAdder Feature	Nexo Equivalent	CraftEngine Equivalent
`permission`	Not directly mapped	Not directly mapped
`specific_properties.furniture`	`Mechanics.furniture`	Plugin-specific
`specific_properties.armor.custom_armor`	`Components.equippable`	`components.equippable`
`loots`	`Mechanics.custom_loot`	Plugin-specific

5. Transfer Resource Pack Assets

Your textures and models work across plugins. Copy them to the new plugin’s resource pack directory:

Nexo: plugins/Nexo/pack/assets/your_namespace/
CraftEngine: Configured in CraftEngine’s settings.yml
Oraxen: plugins/Oraxen/pack/assets/your_namespace/

Known Limitations

Recipe conversion may produce different formats — review converted recipes carefully
Furniture placement mechanics differ between plugins
Custom model data assignment strategies vary
See Converter Limitations for the complete list
